[nagdu] Questionable web site

[Angie Matney]

Hi Julie,

Actually, they mention legal *support,* not legal representation. I am
looking, but I cannot find the information identifying this Beverly Hills
firm. This looks suspicious to me. (Attorneys from such a firm could
certainly represent people in other jurisdictions in some instances, but I
would imagine the extent of the "support" might be a form letter.)

It is possible that I am wrong. It just looks a bit odd to me.

Angie

I just checked out this site and honestly it seems legitimate  to me.
On the service dogs information page they clearly state that certification 
is not required.   They are selling equipment like many other places on the 
internet do.  In addition they are offering a physician consultation and 
legal representation.

The fact that they are asking for people to state that they have a 
disability, explaining the legal issues surrounding service animals and 
requiring that you submit an agreement that could probably be used in court 
says to me that they are being responsible.

There are numerous places on the internet to purchase capes, patches and 
bandanas that say "service dog" with absolutely no questions whatsoever. 
This site does not appear to be one of them.

JMHO of course
Julie
